Splicing HV cable
Posted: Tue Apr 16, 2013 3:40 am
The hv cable on one of our lasers caught fire (poor design apparently caused the insulation to rupture). Luckily we had a spare power supply on hand, so I spliced the 2 cabels together inside a silicone tube, added electrical tape rated for HV and lastly wraped it in a couple of layers of 2mm rubber. Its just a temporary fix. I really need a link to a supplier of HV connectors or does anybody had any luck making a "permant" splice and would like to share their technic?
